East tops West playing as team

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Throughout his collegiate career. Mike O’Koren worked hard for the honors he received. The North Carolina star added yet another award to his collection Sunday, but he says this one came a little easier than the rest. "In a game like this, it’s hard to do anything wrong." O'Koren said after being named the most valuable player in the annual National Basketball Coaches Association All Star game. "When your have such great teammates, you’re bound to look good I’m pleased to get the award, but I was happy just to be able to play in the game." O’Koren scored 16 points to help the East beat the West 8879 in the 21st annual game. He hit seven of nine shots, handed out five assists and shared team scoring honors with dames Ray of Jacksonville. Indiana’s Mike Woodson added 12 points for the East and Michael Brooks of LaSalle contributed 10. plus six assists. “We tried to work together and concentrate on passing.”

said O’Koren. who was a fouryear starter at North Carolina. "We didn't want to look bad trying to do a lot of individual stuff.” The game was a reunion for O’Koren, Brooks. Woodson and John Duren of Georgetown All were members of the United States team that won the gold medal at the 1979 Pan-Ameri-can Games The contest also matched the coaches of last year’s NCAA finals Bill Hodges of Indiana State and Jud Heathcote of Michigan State. "I liked it a lot better than the last one,” laughed Hodges, whose team was beaten by Michigan State 75-64 in the 1979 championship game. Because his team had only an hour to practice and O’Koren didn’t arrive in time for that session Hodges said he tried to get the players to think about passing before scoring. "Most all-star games are guard-oriented.” Hodges said. “I talked to the team about that and tried to instill and incentive for passing the ball. I offered to

They played well because they found it was fun to pass.” The crowd of 7,600 also had fun watching some of the passing, partieuarly a couple of be-hind-the-back flips by Marquette’s Sam Worthen, who scored only two points for the East but had four assists. Don Collins of Washington State led the West with 22 points and Minnesota’s Kevin McHale, also a member of the PanAmerican team, and Dean Hunger of Utah State added 13.

Trevino survives as TPC champion

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) pressure-packed golf tournaments in recent history with most of the great names in the game taking a run at him at one time or another Lee Trevino fired a front-running 70 that provided him with the title in the Tournament Players Championship Sunday. At one point, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Tom Watson, Hubert Green, Ben Crenshaw and British Open champion Seve Ballesteros of Spain all shared second place, hot on Trevino’s heels. “With great players like that all bunched up, anybody could have won,” said Trevino, who played in the last group on the course with Nicklaus and Player, a Hall of Fame threesome that owns more than 200 worldwide victories. Trevino proved to be the toughest of them all in the ambitious event that is billed as the annual championship of golf’s touring pros. He started the final round with a one-shot lead and. though tied at one time or

another, was never headed. He finished with a 278 total, 10 shots under par on a Sawgrass layout tamer than usual. His total was a course record by five shots. The victory, Trevino’s 23rd on the American tour, was worth $72,000 from the total purse of $440,000 the biggest in United States. And it marked the 13th consecutive season in which Trevino has won at least once. Crenshaw, playing well in front of Trevino and company, eventually took second a position with which he is becoming unhappily familiar. It was his sixth runnerup placing in less than 12 months. There may have been some consolation in the $43,200 check, however It made Crenshaw the game’s 25th man to reach $1 million in career earnings. He made it close with a 6-under-par 66 and a 279 total, but a birdie putt that would have tied him with Trevino refused to fall on the final hole and sent Ben off shaking his head. Watson and Ballesteros were another stroke back and tied for

third at 280 Watson, the game’s outstanding golfer for the past three years and the only twotime winner this season, shot a closing 68 Ballesteros, completing a three-tournament swing on the American circuit, had a closing 69. At 282 were John Mahaffev, Mike Reid and Peter Jacobsen Reid closed with a 68. Mahaffey a 69 and Jacobsen a 71. Nicklaus was in the thick of it until he bogeyed the 16th, missing the green and finishing with a 69 for a 284 total.
